CARBOHYDRATES
A disaccharide is made of 2 ____________________.
Monosaccharides
3 elements found in all lipids
C, H, O
Amino acids
Monomer of both RNA and DNA
Nucleotide
Function of an enzyme
speed up reaction; lower activation energy
C6H12O6 is the chemical formula for ______________
Glucose
Properties of the 2 parts of a phospholipid
Ribosomes
Types of RNA found in both prokaryotes & eukaryotes
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
The portion of an enzyme that binds with a specific substrate
Active site
Name of the structural carbohydrate found in cell walls
Cellulose
Organelle that produces lipids
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The final shape of a protein is determined by its
How eukaryotic cells get all their DNA stuffed into the nucleus of each cell
Chromosomes; compression; coiling
How denaturing an enzyme affects the rate of the reaction it catalyzes
Slow it down, stops it, inhibits it
Where starches, glycogen, & other complex carbohydrates store chemical energy
C-H, C-O bonds
Organelle that packages & distributes lipids
Golgi apparatus
The number of animal organ systems that do NOT require proteins to function
0; none
Nucleic acid that carries genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome
mRNA
The point at which all the enzyme molecules in a solution are taken up by enzyme-substrate complexes & no more substrate can be catalyzed
Saturation point
Type of chemical reaction that turns monosaccharides into polysaccharides
Dehydration synthesis
The hydrophilic/hydrophobic structure of phospholipids gives the cell membrane the ability to carry out this most important function
Regulate/control what goes in/out of cell
Type of chemical bond connecting amino acids into the primary structure of a protein
Peptide bonds
Nucleic acid that carries amino acids from cytoplasm to ribosomes
tRNA
Suffix that indicates a substance is an enzyme
-ase
